as usual I won't start a new thread but will add to one already extant:

1. Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model: "I wan' all dem kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I wan' all the kids to copulate me."

2. New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season: "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first."

3. And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skin s say: "I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl," Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too."

4. Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John Jenkins: "He treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings."

5. Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann: "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."

6. Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh : "I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes." (Now that is beautiful)

7. Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach: "You guys line up alphabetically by height." And, "You guys pair up in groups of three, and then line up in a circle.."

8. Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson going to prison: "Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison for three years, not Princeton ."

9. Stu Grimson, Chicago Blackhawks left wing, explaining why he keeps a color photo of himself above is locker: "That's so when I forget how to spell my name, I can still find my clothes."

10. Lou Duva, veteran boxing trainer, on the Spartan training regime of heavyweight Andrew Golota: "He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning, regardless of what time it is."

11. Chuck Nevitt , North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice: "My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt." (I wonder if his IQ ever hit room temperature in January)

12. Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player: "I told him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?' He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care.'"

13. Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a player who received four F's and one D: "Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject."

14. In the words of NC State great Charles Shackelford I can go to my left or right, I am amphibious.

15. Amarillo High School and Oiler coach Bum Phillips when asked by Bob Costas why he takes his wife on all the road trips, Phillips responded: "Because she is too Dodge ugly to kiss good-bye “

Wish I could remember the name of the football pre-game analyst I heard one morning who ended his windy dissertation with the words, "I think it all comes down to whoever puts the most points up on the scoreboard this afternoon will come away with the victory."

Three retired men were sitting on a park bench, feeding the pigeons and talking about their past careers.

“I used to have the finest clothing store in the whole city," said one. “People would come from miles around to purchase my clothing, or have a suit made. But then the suburbs started to build up, and people started to shop at the malls. And then, catastrophe - I went to visit my brother in Miami, and when I came back, I found that thieves had broken into my store, vandalized the entire building, and stole all of my merchandise. Thank God I had insurance, or I wouldn’t have been able to retire”.

The second man nodded his head knowingly, and recounted his own career.

“I used to have the biggest Chevy dealership in the whole city," he said. “People would come from miles around to purchase cars from me. But then the suburbs started to build up, and people started to buy their cars from those fancy-shmansy dealerships along the freeway. My business went into the toilet. And then, catastrophe – a huge fire burned the entire building to the ground. Thank God I had insurance, or I wouldn’t have been able to retire”.

The third man sat, staring at the ground, and said, “Gentlemen, I feel your pain”.

“I used to have the finest five-star restaurant in the whole city," he said. “People, politicians, tourists, and folks of all stripes would come to my restaurant. The newspaper gave my food rave revues. But then, catastrophe – a huge flood came and destroyed the entire building. Thank God I had insurance, or I wouldn’t have been able to retire”.

The two other men sat in silence pondering their friend’s misfortune, and then the first man asked, “So, how do you start a flood?”

A buddy called and asked if I would like to play in a golf tournament. I declined since I haven`t played in a while. He said.." It`s for handicapped and blind children" and I thought........"Hmmm...I might be able to win this...."

I`d never advocate drugs,alcohol,violence or insanity to anyone...But they work for me.

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see that his bedwas nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow that wasaddressed to Dad.. With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope withtrembling hands and read the letter.

Dear Dad:

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope withmy new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you. I havebeen finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice. But I knew youwould not approve of her because of all her piercings, tattoos, tightmotorcycle clothes, and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it'snot only the passion. Dad... she's pregnant. Stacy said that we will bevery happy. She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood forthe whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children. Stacy hasopened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'llbe growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that livenearby for cocaine and ecstasy. In the meantime, we will pray that sciencewill find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it. Don'tworry Dad. I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday I'm sure that we will be back to visit so that you can get to knowyour grandchildren.

Love, your son John

PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house. I justwanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a bad reportcard. It's in my center desk drawer. I love you. Call me when it's safe to come home ..
